I'm probably going to regret sharing this with you, but...

I've had numerous "sleep paralysis" experiences, in the recent past. Only, I was never paralyzed. On numerous occasions, I woke up in the middle of the night, to see (and/or hear) a ghostly apparition that appeared to be quite real. Far from paralyzed, I was able to interact with it. Like, one time I sat up in bed and waved my hand through it, to see if I could touch it. Another time, when I saw it 3 or 4 feet away from the foot of my bed, I threw my pillow at it, to see what would happen. (The pillow passed through it, of course, and it disappeared.)

What did it look like? Well, sometimes it was a dark, wavering presence in the air, adult human in height and width but not really humanoid in shape. Other times, it was a small, hovering ball (or blob) of glowy stuff, like phosphorous.

As for what it sounded like: It had three voices. Most of the time, it sounded like a young woman with a pleasant albeit mischievous voice. A couple of times, it sounded like a young man with a gentle yet seductive voice. One time, it sounded like an innocent child. Each time, it said, "Hi" or "Hello", or it called my name. One time, I felt it's presence creeping up on me, and as I came awake, it said playfully, "Boo!" (That time, I sat up in bed and said aloud, grumbling, "Ha-ha. Very funny.")

Before all this started happening, there were some spooky things going on in our house, during the daytime and the early evening. One night, my wife – when she was wide awake and not on medication of any kind – swore she saw a darkly wavering yet distinct presence walk down our stairway and into our living room, where my wife was seated, watching TV. To this day, I don't know what to make of that. But shortly after that, the "sleep paralyses" experiences began for me (and continued for about six to nine months).

Later, the experiences for me began to get increasingly sexual in nature. But I'm averse to sharing any of that on the Internet, because the last time that I did, on a different message board, the members there heckled me and said I was making all this shit up. Well, I wasn't making any of it up, but I did feel I had bared my psyche to everyone, much to their amusement and their derisive analyses.
